Francie - Saw this and thought of your link yesterday. Good for Matt!



Yesterday, Shayne announced that she's keeping the 2.85 carat engagement ring "forever!" and that it was okay with Matt, but today, in a statement to People, he disputes that announcement.
"We never discussed this," he tells the magazine. "I never said it was cool to just keep it. If she said we spoke about it, she just made it up. Sometimes she thinks she can say anything and I'll go along with it."
Matt adds, "It's not a television or a handbag. It's a symbol of a marriage that didn't happen."

just popping in......

I love James Patterson books! I don't have that many of them, but if I see one that catches my eye and we have the extra money, I pick it up.

I am happy to report that I found something new yesterday......okay, well they are not new, but they are new to me! I found my abs! a friend of mine on another board told me what she does for her ab workout, so I figured what the heck is it going to hurt.......it hurts.......but it hurts because I know it is doing something!

more news from our favorite couple Susan- you were right he didn't pay for the ring. I do like his solution of donating proceeds to charity.

Sassy- so glad work is going better for you; I know your DH will find something soon....

Susan- congrats on 150...all your hard work paid off Thanks for the comment on my blog

Mindee - I checked out your music in the park pics on ms and they are so sweet. The kids are very cute and look like they are having a great time. I remember when I felt and ab..thought I had a tumor jk It's ok if they hurt, abs can take it. Mine are a bit sore, too from a pilates class I took on Tuesday.

Cristina - Thanks for the comments on my blog I like that self portrait, for some strange reason. I put it up in my little sewing corner..it kind of cheers me up. Maybe it's the bright colors.


Francie - have fun at the release party ( and the Ren fair) It will be nice to get a break from all the moving work... Your new hair color sounds pretty , are you going to post pics?

I feel like such a slug but I will get over it. Today I am going to finish hanging curtains in the bedroom, and take the kids to the dentist. Maybe I'll take a look at the school supplies lists and form a game plan. I bailed on pilates today, but will get a walk in later. Not a very exciting day. Hope everyone has a good day..bbl

Yowza, $65,000 for a ring! Shanye so does not deserve that, they only were together for a short time.

Good Morning - sidetracked.....

Katy - I liked the self portrait a lot, you are very talented. And you are not a slug!! lol

Asia - So, how was Tuesday's outing?

Mindee- Yay, on the abs!! I switched to Beach Road last night and read 200 pages before I had to go to bed. He is pretty good, have heard about his books for so long.

anyway - on the run.

Hi to everyone else!!

Trying to get to the beach this Sunday so need to go look up cheapie hotels. Stepped on the scale and it was a solid 150 after the 5th step on it went to 149.8 and after the 6th 149.6 and after the 7th ((I wasn't awake)) 149.2 and after the 8th 150.2,,,,,,that is when I got off and cursed the scale. lol

So, agenda is to get some exercise in and drink lots of water. Managed to get some zoo photo's up at myspace too.

k - bbl.

HIYA Ladies...

Sorry for the quickie...had a busy morning and was just taking a break after mowing. Thought I could finish it while it was still cloudy and cool and that darn sun came out...now it is hot, ick! Anyway, getting ready to pick-up Cambrie so she can spend the night. She had a fit the other night when they were over and I told her she could today and I would pick her up. So off I go in a few minutes. Not sure how long I will be over there, Charlotte may want us to just get her and go, lol. She works until 2 and comes home pooped so, may not want to visit. Anywho...I'll be back.

Take care, and I hope everyone is enjoying the day!

doing my daily pop in.....

I took the kids to the pool at lunch time...we didn't stay long! I told them that we would come back after dinner with daddy.

me and my abs are doing well. they still hurt, but hey, no pain no gain, right?

we are going to take the kids to the pool later on....right now Tommy is making dinner.

Sassy~ That is great news about your work!!!

Another quickie from me, sorry. I meant to get on last night, of course that didn't happen. I will be back on later today to catch up for sure. Cambrie will be going home about 1:30'ish and I am hoping we have the computer back. It's been acting stupid lately and I think we have a virus, among other things. V is taking it in today to get it fixed and it is supposed to only take 1 1/2-2 hours...we'll see.

Only did half my walk this morning outdoors...6:00 in the morning and the humidity was just too bad...I cannot stand to be sticky...don't mind sweating, comes with exercising but the stickiness, ugh! So will finish up some walking on the treadmill and do a dvd and then come back and change the ticker. Almost forgot that today is a new month! So...get your walking shoes on ladies...Sept 1 will be here before ya know it!

Better get started with the day...Cambrie is still sleeping so I can get some walking in, V is home in case she wakes. Then I have errands to run. Will chat later.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Hello ladies...Just a short drop in. I went on the hike and it was good. I am glad that I had been exersicing before that because if I hadnt of I would of been embarrased. I kept up with Andrew pretty good though. I have a victory picture that I took just for yall. Me and Andrew took a picture together and we are just covered in sweat. Its so gross but it was really awesome. I was really proud of my self. I will post picstures later.

Happy Friday

Mindee- Is it no pain no gain?? Ugh. I guess. lol
How was the pool?? Gabster and I were at the pool 3 hours yesterday but it was the inside one so no one got a suntan like last time.
Read Beach Road and started Along came a Spider last night....shocking BR ending! I was kind of sad about that but it was entertaining.

Asia- Can't wait to see the picture!

Cristina - Miss hearing from you. The humidity back east would take some getting use to for me. Today it is kind of misty, suppose to be mid 90's by next week. Anyway, hope your computer is ok, what would we do without you???

Hi to everyone else! What are your plans for the weekend????

I weighed and it was 149.8 ((about a 2.4 weight loss for the week, thrilled w/ that!!)) so I changed it. Mainly because I was tired of seeing the 150's for so long and thinking it will motivate me over the weekend to stay on course. I always falter with cheese bread and wine. I know. What a weak person I am. lol
I drank 80oz's of water yesterday and that was before 3pm, so I was happy about that.
Take Gabster to the dentist today and have to run my rent over across town. Otherwise it is just cleaning and reading here. Oh, tired of carrots so I need a new veggie to steam. haha...thinking acorn squash sounds good.

Ya..I saw that on people.com. I always thought that if the wedding didn't happen, then you have to give your ring back. If you get married, then divorced, then you can keep your ring. I dunno..I think it sounds really shallow of her to put it in a glass box. Why would you want a reminder of something that didnt happen? Her daddy (its hard to believe that man was in Grease, lol) could probably buy her a more expensive piece of jewelry.

Anyways..sorry if I sounded a little bitter just now, lol. I didnt mean to be. I'm just so beyond stessed out. We're moving in 19 days and my lazy a** husband doesnt wanna do anything. We had his whole leave to clean and do stuff..but it never happened. I tried doing it on my own..but I hurt my hand & wrist from tearing up boxes (I have a major addiction to Amazon, lol). I'm so far past being angry, I just wanna sit and cry for days and days. But that wont solve anything. I've been a total beeyatch too, which also doesnt solve anything. I tried so hard to stay positive, but I'm falling apart. And he just doesnt even care. He rather read books and play video games than to do anything important. I'm seriously sick of his procrastination. Why does he have to be so difficult?? If I say..lets go to the mall, he's all up for it. But if I say...lets go clean...He'll be all.."in a min, let me finish reading this chapter" Then before you know it..its too late to clean. I swear to God..I feel like his mother sometimes. I swear..if I pop a gray hair, I'm gonna blame it all on him!!! LoL!!

OKay..vent over. I just needed to get that all out. I better go now. My hands & wrists are starting to hurt. Thank God my friend is planning a spa day for just the girls after I move. I'm totally gonna need it!!!

nothing new here.....

I had to go and run an errand today, so my MIL came over and went with me. I got a pamphlet about the local head start program....so I am going to call and get some information about it for Logan. They have to be 3 years old either on or before December 1st of the current school year, and since he will be 3 years old on October 28th of this year, I figured what the heck! I am going to show it to Tommy when he gets home from work tonight, and then call on Monday.

I tried on a pair of jeans yesterday to see how they would fit me..........they fit and I didn't even have to lay on the bed to zip them up like that last time. they are a size 22!!!!!!!

Cristina~ Were you able to get your walk and errands done?

Asia~ That is great! I can't wait to see the pictures!

SuzieQ~ You are doing great!!!!! I am not exactly sure what our plans are for this weekend. I know Tommy has to work tomorrow, and my SIL and her daughter are going to come over. Other then that, we will probably just stay around here and maybe clean out the stuff for the garage sale. we didn't go to the pool last night.....the boys were acting up, so it was off to bed for them all. I got Brandon to sleep, and then had to take Logan and Marissa for a walk because they were still awake!

Francie~ How are things with you guys? I have moments like those as well......yes even with Tommy.

I came back for my Cristina Post! Where are you missy?????? I hope it isn't computer problems.

Francie - If it is any comfort my sister moves Tuesday and nothing has been packed. lol And she has a 3 bedroom house to move. My advice is just do what you can. Fonzo knows what is going on, he will probably get the fire under his butt on the 18th day and start moving. No sweat, men are like that. to you.

Mindee- Thanks It is nice to get support here. Not many would understand counting weight loss ounces...lol . Gaby went to Headstart and loved it, hope you get some good news for Logan.

I went to the store for acorn squash and quickly realized that was a Fall kind of veggie. lol Duh. So, I picked up some fresh green beans and that was good for lunch. I did lousy on water today but eating is good. Eating pretzels and mustard right now, I love mustard. I know. What a freak of nature. lol - jk.

Took Gabster to the dentist and was amazed,,,,,no cavities! And she is so cool, not scared at all. Kept giving me the thumbs up. lol
She'll go w/ her father in the morning and I am planning on going to the beach after I get her back on Sunday. Picked up 3 more Patterson books, so that'll keep me out of trouble.
Oh, and I have an interview Tuesday for a job at a retirement place!!

k- that is all from here. G'night

Hello all...Got a 2 mile ride tonight and 4 miles last night. Boy, is it humid.
Mom and I went to lunch with DD and DGD today, then off to buy shoes and groceries. Mom found shoes...I didn't.

Not much else to tell.....nothing planned for the week-end.

ok......so my little bit of excitement from earlier was a little bit off.........at least in the size..they are actually 24's, and not 22's like I had thought! but to get them on without having to lay on the bed is the greatest feeling!

I even tried them on in front of Tommy......of course he was more interested in seeing what my butt looks like in them.

SuzieQ~ I am hoping that they will still have spots opens so I can get him into one of them!

Sue~ It is good to hear from you! great job on the biking!!
